DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0022] As mentioned in the background technology, the operation panel 200 of the existing CNC machine tools is mostly fixedly installed on the machine tools and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the position and angle of the operator, resulting in the operator frequently adjusting his position to adapt to the angle of the operation panel 200 in certain operation scenarios, thereby reducing work efficiency and convenience of operation. In addition, although some CNC machine tool operation panels 200 can achieve a certain degree of rotation or movement, their structure is complex, the operation is inconvenient, and they cannot meet the needs of multi-angle and large-range adjustment. Therefore, in response to the above technical problems, the connecting mechanism of the present application is used to connect the body and the operating panel, and the connecting mechanism includes a rotating mechanism 400, and the two ends of the rotating mechanism 400 are respectively hinged to the body and the support frame 300, and the rotating mechanism 400 includes a plurality of rotating arms 410, and two adjacent rotating arms 410 are hinged to each other, so that the operating panel 200 can move relative to the body, and the plurality of rotating arms 410 are used to increase the movement range of the operating panel 200. In order to facilitate fixing the operating panel 200 at a predetermined position, a locking component 500 is provided between two adjacent rotating arms 410, which can make the adjacent chain rotating arms 410 relatively fixed, thereby fixing the operating panel 200 at a predetermined position, so that the operator can freely adjust the angle and position of the operating panel 200 according to actual needs, without frequently adjusting its own position, thereby improving the convenience and comfort of operation.
[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a connection mechanism for connecting a machine body and an operation panel 200, and the connection mechanism includes: a support frame 300, which is arranged on the operation panel 200; a rotating mechanism 400, and the two ends of the rotating mechanism 400 are respectively hinged to the machine body and the support frame 300, and the rotating mechanism 400 includes a plurality of rotating arms 410, and two adjacent rotating arms 410 are hinged to each other, and the rotating arms 410 are hinged to the support frame 300 so that the operation panel 200 can move relative to the machine body; a locking component 500, which is located between two adjacent rotating arms 410 to lock the two adjacent rotating arms 410 with each other, so that the operation panel 200 is fixed at a predetermined position.
[0024] According to the connection mechanism provided by the present application, it is used to connect the machine body and the operation panel 200, wherein the connection mechanism includes: a support frame 300, a rotating mechanism 400 and a locking component 500, wherein the support frame 300 is arranged on the operation panel 200; the two ends of the rotating mechanism 400 are respectively hinged with the machine body and the support frame 300, and the rotating mechanism 400 includes a plurality of rotating arms 410, wherein two adjacent rotating arms 410 are hinged with each other, and the rotating arms 410 are hinged with the support frame 300, so that the operation panel 200 moves relative to the machine body; the locking component 500 is located between two adjacent rotating arms 410, so as to lock the two adjacent rotating arms 410 with each other, so that the operation panel 200 is fixed in a predetermined position. Through this design, the operation panel can freely adjust its position in three-dimensional space according to the needs of the operator, and is particularly suitable for industrial equipment that needs to frequently adjust the operation interface, such as CNC machine tools, medical equipment, etc., which greatly improves the convenience of operation and work efficiency. The implementation effect of this connection mechanism is that it not only improves the flexibility of the operation panel, but also ensures the stability of the operation panel during use through the locking component, avoids affecting the normal operation of the equipment due to the unstable position of the operation panel, and improves the reliability and safety of the equipment.
[0025] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the plurality of rotating arms 410 include: a first arm body 411, which is hinged to the machine body; a second arm body 412, one end of the second arm body 412 is hinged to the end of the first arm body 411 away from the machine body, and the other end of the second arm body 412 is hinged to the support frame 300; and a locking component 500 is arranged between the first arm body 411 and the second arm body 412. Through the hinge of the first arm body 411 to the machine body, and the hinge of the second arm body 412 to the first arm body 411 and the support frame 300, the operation panel 200 can be freely moved in multiple directions and angles. This design allows the operator to easily adjust the angle and position of the operation panel 200 in different working positions and postures, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of operation. The multi-arm articulated structure can better adapt to the complex spatial layout around the CNC machine tool, and can flexibly adjust the position of the operation panel 200 even in the scene where the machine tool components are dense and the operating space is limited, ensuring that the operator can operate without obstacles.
[0026] In the specific implementation process, the first arm 411 is provided with a first connecting member 413, and the second arm 412 is provided with a second connecting member 414. The first connecting member 413 and the second connecting member 414 are arranged opposite to each other and hinged to each other; the locking member 500 is arranged between the first connecting member 413 and the second connecting member 414. Through the hinged connection between the first connecting member 413 and the second connecting member 414, the operating panel can be adjusted in a larger range, thereby improving the flexibility of operation. At the same time, the locking member 500 can ensure that the operating panel remains stable after being adjusted to the desired position, avoiding the change of the panel position caused by shaking or external force during operation, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of operation. The setting of the hinged connection enables the operator to adjust the operating panel to the desired angle more intuitively and conveniently without the need for a complicated adjustment mechanism, thereby simplifying the operation process and improving work efficiency.
[0027] In the embodiment provided in the present application, the locking component 500 includes: a gasket 510, the gasket 510 is arranged between the first connecting member 413 and the second connecting member 414, the gasket 510 can be elastically arranged, and the gasket 510 is respectively interference-fitted with the first connecting member 413 and the second connecting member 414. The elastic design of the gasket 510 can absorb the vibration of the operating panel during use and maintain the stability of the operating panel 200. At the same time, the interference fit design can ensure the fastening effect of the locking component, which is suitable for equipment in a high vibration environment, such as heavy-duty machining machine tools. The elastic design and interference fit of the gasket 510 can not only absorb the vibration of the operating panel, but also maintain the stability of the operating panel in a high vibration environment, avoiding the position displacement of the operating panel caused by the vibration of the equipment, and improving the stability and operating accuracy of the equipment.
[0028] In specific implementation, a first step structure is provided between the first connecting member 413 and the first arm 411, and a second step structure is provided between the second connecting member 414 and the second arm 412, and the first step structure is embedded with the second step structure. The embedded design of the step structure is equivalent to increasing the contact area between the arm and the connecting member, thereby improving the stability of the connection. This design can effectively prevent the arm from sliding or loosening during the rotation or tilt adjustment of the operation panel 200, and ensure that the operation panel can remain stable at any adjustment angle and is not prone to shaking. Through the embedding of the step structure, the force transmission path is more direct and uniform. When the operator adjusts the angle of the operation panel 200, the force can be more effectively transmitted from the first arm 411 to the second arm 412, avoiding structural damage caused by uneven distribution of force, while also reducing the operator's force during the adjustment process, thereby improving the comfort and convenience of the operation. The precise embedding of the step structure helps the operation panel 200 to be accurately positioned when it reaches a preset angle position. This structural design can reduce the positioning error caused by the gap between the connectors, so that each adjustment of the operation panel can accurately stay at the position expected by the operator, thereby improving work efficiency and operation accuracy. Since the first step structure is embedded with the second step structure, this design simplifies the steps of adjusting the angle of the operation panel 200 to a certain extent. The operator does not need to pay too much attention to the alignment and fixation between the connectors, and can complete the adjustment of the operation panel 200 by simply rotating or pulling, which improves the convenience and efficiency of operation.
[0029] In the present application, the connection mechanism also includes: a connection frame 600, which is arranged on the machine body, and the rotating mechanism 400 is hinged to the connection frame 600; a lifting assembly, which is arranged on the machine body, and the connection frame is arranged on the lifting assembly, and the connection frame is movably arranged in the vertical direction relative to the lifting assembly. The connection frame 600 is adjusted in the vertical direction by the lifting assembly, and the operator can adjust the height of the operation panel 200 according to his own height or different working scenes, so as to achieve a wider vertical adjustment range. This design greatly enhances the flexibility of the operation panel 200 in the vertical direction, and meets the personalized adjustment needs of different users and different operating needs. The combination of the connection frame 600 and the lifting assembly can lift the operation panel 200 to the lowest point when it is not in use, save space, avoid the operation panel 200 from occupying too much operating area, and provide more space for other operations and maintenance work of the CNC machine tool. In the scenario where it needs to be used, it can be quickly raised to a suitable height to ensure the convenience of operation. The rotating mechanism 400 is hinged on the connecting frame 600, and the connecting frame 600 is stably connected to the machine body through the lifting assembly. This design can ensure the structural stability of the operation panel 200 when adjusting the angle and height. Even under extreme operating conditions, the operation panel 200 can be kept stable to avoid operating errors caused by shaking or instability. The setting of the connecting frame 600 provides convenience for the installation and maintenance of the operation panel 200. The operator can first adjust the angle of the operation panel 200, and then adjust its height through the lifting assembly, realizing step-by-step operation and simplifying the entire installation and maintenance process. At the same time, the separate design of the connecting frame 600 and the rotating mechanism 400 also makes it unnecessary to disassemble the entire CNC machine tool on a large scale when maintaining or replacing the operation panel 200, reducing maintenance costs and time.
[0030] Specifically, the lifting assembly includes: a linear guide rail, which is arranged on the machine body, a slider is arranged on the linear guide rail, the slider is movably arranged along the extension direction of the linear guide rail, and a connecting frame is connected to the slider. The linear guide rail provides precise guidance for the slider, ensuring the smooth movement of the control panel in the vertical direction. This design can effectively prevent the shaking or deviation of the control panel during the lifting process, improve the accuracy of vertical movement, and enable the operator to more accurately adjust the control panel to the ideal height position; the combination of the linear guide rail and the slider provides a stable support structure, which can maintain good stability even when the control panel reaches the maximum lifting range, avoiding safety risks to the operator or machine tool due to structural instability. The linear guide rail and the slider adopt low-friction materials and precision processing technology, which can effectively reduce wear during movement, extend the service life of the lifting assembly, reduce maintenance costs, and at the same time reduce the noise that may be generated during operation, and improve the comfort of the working environment. The slider is movably arranged along the extension direction of the linear guide rail. The operator only needs to push or pull the control panel to achieve its vertical lifting and lowering, which simplifies the operation process and improves work efficiency. This design advantage is more obvious especially in scenarios where the height of the control panel needs to be adjusted frequently.
[0031] In the first embodiment provided in the present application, the support frame 300 includes a mounting plate, the mounting plate is arranged on the top surface of the operation panel 200, the rotating arm 410 is hinged to the mounting plate, and the operation panel 200 is rotatably arranged around the first axis relative to the rotating mechanism 400. By arranging the mounting plate on the top surface of the operation panel 200 and rotating the operation panel 200 around the first axis relative to the rotating mechanism 400, the operator can freely adjust the angle and orientation of the operation panel according to actual needs and his own position, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of operation. This design allows the operation panel 200 to be adjusted according to the operator's viewing angle and working posture, which can better conform to the principles of ergonomics, reduce the operator's physical discomfort and fatigue during use, and enhance the overall user experience. The design of the mounting plate enables the operation panel 200 to be folded or rotated to a suitable position when not in use, reducing the space occupied by the operation panel on the machine tool and improving the space utilization efficiency of the CNC machine tool. The mounting plate is arranged on the top surface of the operating panel 200 and is hinged to the rotating arm 410, so as to optimize the force transmission path, reduce the structural damage caused by the uneven distribution of force, and improve the structural stability and durability of the whole system.
[0032] In the second embodiment provided in the present application, the support frame 300 includes a mounting plate, which is arranged on the side opposite to the machine body of the operating panel 200, and the rotating arm 410 is hinged to the mounting plate, and the operating panel 200 is rotatably arranged around the second axis relative to the rotating mechanism 400. The relative arrangement of the mounting plate and the operating panel 200, combined with the hinged design of the rotating arm 410, allows the operating panel to be adjusted in multiple dimensions, not only to achieve horizontal rotation, but also to achieve vertical angle adjustment through the hinge of the rotating arm and the mounting plate. In this way, the operator can freely adjust the angle of the operating panel according to his or her working position and viewing angle requirements, greatly improving the convenience and comfort of operation. The mounting plate is arranged on the side opposite to the machine body of the operating panel. Such a design makes it possible for the operating panel to not be restricted by other parts of the machine tool when adjusting, increases the available adjustment space of the operating panel, and enables the operating panel to still achieve effective angle adjustment in a space-constrained working environment. The separate design of the support frame 300 and the operation panel 200 makes it unnecessary to dismantle the entire CNC machine tool when maintaining or adjusting the operation panel. Only the support frame and the rotating arm need to be operated, which simplifies the maintenance process and reduces the maintenance cost. At the same time, this design also facilitates the rapid installation and removal of the operation panel, improving the flexibility of the machine tool.
[0033] The present application also provides a machine tool, including a machine body, a connecting mechanism 100 and an operating panel 200, wherein the connecting mechanism 100 is connected to the machine body and the operating panel 200 respectively, and the operating panel 200 is movably arranged relative to the machine body through the connecting mechanism 100, and the connecting mechanism 100 is the connecting mechanism of the above embodiment.
[0034] The numerical control machine tool of the present application comprises an operation panel 200, a connecting mechanism 100 and a support frame 300. The operation panel 200 is used to display an operation interface and receive operation instructions. The rotating mechanism 400 is connected between the operation panel 200 and the support frame 300 to achieve multi-angle adjustment of the operation panel 200. The connecting frame 600 is fixedly mounted on the machine tool to provide stable support for the rotating mechanism 400 and the operation panel 200. The design of the connecting mechanism 100 allows the operation panel 200 to rotate 180 degrees in the horizontal plane, and can also be tilted at a certain angle in the vertical direction (such as by adding a tilt adjustment mechanism). The operator can manually drive the connecting mechanism 100 as needed to achieve multi-angle adjustment of the operation panel 200.
[0035] The main body of the operation panel 200 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials to ensure stability and durability in complex processing environments. Equipped with a high-definition touch screen, the interface layout is reasonable, the operation instructions are intuitive and easy to understand, and it supports multiple interactive methods such as touch, voice control and gesture recognition. Multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanism: It is designed with at least two rotation axes (such as horizontal rotation axis and vertical rotation axis), allowing the control panel to rotate 180° in the horizontal plane and can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction. The tilt adjustment function is optional, and the tilt angle of the control panel can be adjusted through a mechanical structure or a hydraulic / pneumatic device.
[0036] Specifically, in another embodiment provided by the present application, an adjustment component 610 is provided on the connecting frame 600, and the adjustment component 610 includes a first adjustment body 611 and a second adjustment body 612 connected to each other, the first adjustment body 611 is hinged to the connecting frame 600 through a first rotating shaft 613, and the second adjustment body 612 is hinged to the rotating arm 410 through a second rotating shaft 614. The first adjustment body 611 is rotatably arranged relative to the connecting frame 600 around the first axis of the first rotating shaft 613, and the rotating arm 410 is rotatably arranged relative to the second adjustment body 612 around the second axis of the second rotating shaft 614, and the first axis is perpendicular to the second axis, so that when the first adjustment body 611 rotates, the rotating arm is driven to rotate by the second adjustment body 612, thereby adjusting the inclination angle of the operation panel 200. The adjustment mechanism should have sufficient bearing capacity and stability to ensure that the control panel can remain stable at different angles. Equipped with a mechanical locking device or an electromagnetic lock, when the control panel is adjusted to the desired position, it is automatically locked to prevent shaking. Supporting the preset position memory function, the operator can quickly switch to the commonly used operating angle through the control panel or external device. Safety protection and emergency response: The control panel housing is made of impact-resistant material to improve the overall protection performance. Equipped with an emergency stop button 700 to ensure that the power can be quickly cut off in an emergency. Integrated anti-collision sensor automatically triggers an alarm or takes evasive measures when a potential collision risk is detected. Support and mobile structure: A stable support frame is designed to ensure the stability of the control panel during movement. A roller or track system can be installed at the bottom of the support frame to facilitate the flexible movement of the control panel around the machine tool. The roller or track system should have a brake function to prevent the control panel from sliding when it does not need to move.
[0037] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
[0038] 1. Improve operational convenience: The present invention adopts a control panel that can be moved at multiple angles, so that the operator can freely adjust the angle and position of the control panel according to actual needs without frequently adjusting his own position, thereby improving the convenience and comfort of operation.
[0039] 2. Enhance user experience: The control panel design of the present invention is more user-friendly, making the operation of the CNC machine tool more ergonomic, which helps to improve the user experience and satisfaction.
[0040] 3. Improve work efficiency: By optimizing the layout and angle adjustment function of the control panel, unnecessary movements and time consumption during operation are reduced, thereby improving work efficiency.
[0041] According to the connection mechanism provided by the present application, it is used to connect the machine body and the operation panel 200, wherein the connection mechanism includes: a support frame 300, a rotating mechanism 400 and a locking component 500, wherein the support frame 300 is arranged on the operation panel 200; the two ends of the rotating mechanism 400 are respectively hinged with the machine body and the support frame 300, and the rotating mechanism 400 includes a plurality of rotating arms 410, wherein two adjacent rotating arms 410 are hinged with each other, and the rotating arms 410 are hinged with the support frame 300, so that the operation panel 200 moves relative to the machine body; the locking component 500 is located between two adjacent rotating arms 410, so as to lock the two adjacent rotating arms 410 with each other, so that the operation panel 200 is fixed in a predetermined position. Through this design, the operation panel can freely adjust its position in three-dimensional space according to the needs of the operator, and is particularly suitable for industrial equipment that needs to frequently adjust the operation interface, such as CNC machine tools, medical equipment, etc., which greatly improves the convenience of operation and work efficiency.
